Here we go again, Buc fans, dealing with the fallout from a world-class diva fiasco.
Two defending NFL champions, 18 years apart, undermined by the selfishness of wide receivers with their gaze firmly on the stat sheet rather than on the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
In both cases, it turned into a blood feud between the head case and the head coach. [read more]
Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians always likes to say when players are hurt, sick or have gone full-blown mental and are tossed off the pirate ship, it’s next man up. [read more]
It’s rare in the 21st Century to see a starting defensive lineman who is 35. At that age, most are so beat up that Father Time is tapping them on the shoulder. [read more]
Joe isn’t really sure what to say about this, but furniture-tossing, bicycle-winging, tantrum-throwing quitter Antonio Brown still affects the Bucs. Or should that be “infects” the Bucs?
And the result could be a team outbreak of The Sickness, if what a shady woman claims is real. [read more]

Furniture-tossing, bicycle-winging, tantrum-throwing quitter Antonio Brown took to social media this morning to air his grievances. The Buccaneers have responded in kind. Joe will just leave this here for all to enjoy and respond to.
“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have terminated the contract of Antonio Brown, effective immediately. While Antonio did receive treatment on his ankle and was listed on the injury report the week leading up to last Sunday’s game, he was cleared to play by our medical team prior to the start of the game and at no point during the game did he indicate to our medical personnel that he could not play. We have attempted, multiple times throughout this week, to schedule an evaluation by an outside orthopedic specialist, yet Antonio has not complied. Maintaining the health and wellness of our players is of the utmost importance to our organization.”
